Little November, one of our smaller cheetahs, travelled to Pretoria after Riana received a permit for him to undertake the journey.  The reason for this is that no-one could really give us a clear answer as to what exactly was wrong with him.  Peter Caldwell is a world-renowned cheetah specialist and Riana and Rene were privileged to have had the opportunity to spend almost a whole day picking at his brain.  The result is that November has been correctly diagnosed, we have better hands-on information about breeding with the big cats in captivity and he put our minds at ease and gave clarity about a lot of ‘hanging queries’ that have been floating around lately.

Next week we have a few more animals that shall undergo further testing to prove to the interested parties that everything at Cheetah Experience is just the way it should be and maybe even a little better.
